<p>On this latest podcast episode of Trees &amp; Lines we are joined again by our friend Beth Lay of Lewis Trees, and also, Chris Paglia, Vice President of Safety, Health, and Assurance at a very large electric utility in the northeast. We dive in with Chris and Beth, on the storms they have had to the topic of resilience engineering and how it played a part in the response to winter storm Elliot, what went right, and what they learned they can do better in preparing for future storms.<br/><br/>#Trees #utility #vegetationmanagement #saftey #success #Surprise #regulations #resilience #engineering #winterstorm #winterstorm2022 #Elliot #preparation #storm #storms #electricutility</p>

The Inner Workings of a Cooperative and Their Challenges w/ Cindy Musick

Utility vegetation management (UVM) manages risks and controls vegetation that could potentially threaten power lines, railways, roadways, etc. It is perhaps one of the most important fields of environmental impact in the 21st century and is especially important in the U.S., where it is the largest factor in managing outages and the reliability of utilities.In Trees & Lines utility vegetation management podcast, veteran Phil Charlton and Iapetus COO Tej Singh discuss the future of this critical industry and together with keynote guests explore how UVM industry leaders are investing in new technologies, redefining safety culture, addressing ESG (environmental, social, governance) initiatives, and bringing awareness to career opportunities in the burgeoning field of UVM. It's a fresh take on an industry that once operated quietly and is now part of a global discussion with mainstream visibility. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
